Abstract (en)
[origin: GB2448296A] A cap 10 for closing a beverage container for allowing the beverage to be sucked out of the container through a spout, while preventing spillage when no suction takes place, comprises a demand valve, the valve includes an inlet port, a discharge port and a control port communicating with the ambient atmosphere through a hole in the cap, the valve having a valve seat 184 and a closure member (fig 2, 164) controlling the flow, the valve is formed from two members 16, 18 that are mounted on the inner surface of the cap, the first member 18 being rigid and defining the valve inlet port and the valve seat, the second member 16 incorporating a resilient membrane which includes the valve closure member and serves as a pressure sensitive diaphragm. To prevent the creation of a vacuum inside the container, a sphincter valve (fig 2, 166) may be provided, and means may be provided such as a biasing spring or a magnetic force, which may be applied to the second member to maintain the closure member against the valve seat.
